Relative path in mimetypes.rdf

Submitted by mrcitizen on September 8, 2011 - 5:54pm

Hi There,
I have a mobile firefox on a USB style token and would like to invoke a virtualized adobe reader (instead of the default Adobe Reader) on the token when a PDF file is rendered from the browser. It works fine when I have the absolute path in mimetypes.rdf, however the drive mapping can change depending upon the availablity of drives (forexample, if d: is already used). Is there a way to use realtive path in mimtypes.rdf? I would like to do something

<?xml version="1.0"??>

[Suggestion] Should check if already installed before "Get More Apps"

if already installed, then make the checkbox grey and uncheckable.

Should check if already installed on the directory before "Get More Apps":

if already installed, then make the checkbox grey and uncheckable. (Save internet flows and time)
if already installed but not "up to date", then make the checkbox checked by default and show different version in the column (maybe add in the future?)

Thanks,

virus detected in many apps !?

Submitted by sdrkyj on September 5, 2011 - 11:36pm

I donwloaded many apps from this site. I installed Rising anti virus software. it detected lots of virus, trojan, worms etc. I don't remember what it detected. But are the apps on the site safe? It is said that more than 90% of Android apps aren't safe. Or maybe the technology used for making apps portable is like in the crack ware, which is against by anti virus software for anti-pirated?

Slow to load applications by start.exe portable apps launcher on i5, i7

Submitted by sanjeevkafle on September 5, 2011 - 1:01pm

The start.exe portable apps launcher takes a very long time to load the list of applications on both my i5 and i7 computers.
However, it does it almost instantly on my older computers. Did anybody ever noticed it?
Does the launcher does not support multiple CPUs? Because even in my i7 it takes about 5-10 seconds to list about 60 applications.
Does the launcher does not support USB 3.0 port?
Or am I missing something? Some i3 processors list all programs almost instantly, however my i7 takes a while.

Any help is appreciated.

Where is the link for XAMPP light ?!

Submitted by saikat on September 5, 2011 - 8:50am

Hi

I have been trying to download XAMPP light.
The link on PortableApps for it is sending me to http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp-windows.html#646

But there is no link for XAMPP light (28mb). All 3 links there seem to be for full (not lite) version and much larger files.

Am I missing something? Where could I get the light-weight version of XAMPP?

Start app w/ different .ini parms

Submitted by siegfre on August 27, 2011 - 2:17pm

First off, I did a search & did not come up with an answer (though I suspect that there was one buried in there some where).

I'd like too be able to start Chrome portable with a 1 of 2 .ini's which have different Additional Parameters. I know I can edit GoogleChromePortable.ini with the appropriate parms. But I'd like to void having to do the edit when I want to start the app with different parms.

portable app platform

Submitted by xdeathoreox on August 27, 2011 - 1:14pm

Ok, I just downloaded this and got everything I want on it. But I see you can add you own videos, pictures, and music.

For videos, what file type do that have to be? Do I just add them to the my documents and my videos?
Pictures, can they be .png,.jpeg,.bmp and so on?
Music, Do they have to be .mp3? Or can they be a .wav or .ogg ?

I was just wondering. Because I don't want to screw it up.
